Obviously a pic is attached a per title

I am seeing the GP for him for something else entirely but should I mention it then?

A quick google suggests I should've kept it arghhh

Not moving, if anyone was going to ask! Looked really concerning

He is 6 so wondering if this is some sort of urgent issue?

He is otherwise well but recently has had a lot of diarrhoea and mild tummy ache

I would 100% mention it to the GP!

Should also add each bowel movement has loads of these weird egg looking things

He is disabled so has a very limited diet. Nothing he eats contains seeds except pure orange juice he sometimes drinks, but again that doesn't have bits in

Did you speak to the GP about it?

Unlikely to be a tape worm if you are in the UK and haven't been travelling, but I'd get it checked out. Those things look way too big to be parasite eggs, but if you take a sample to the docs and ask for it to be checked for parasites

Unlikely to be possible so quickly.

Any word on this, OP? I can't help wondering what it is! I hope all is well.
